And the Winner is: Scotty McCreery!

So this seasons ‘American Idol’ was Amazing! So much eclectic talent was showcased and unfortunately, most of that great talent was sentg home until America was left to choose between a final two. Scotty McCreery, age 17, and Lauren Alaina, age 16, were not just this year’s top two, but the youngest contestants to ever make it to the ‘American Idol’ finale.
This seasons many fresh faces –such as Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez- and even fresher talent revamped the show; bringing it back to it’s first season when no one had ever heard of a live talent judging show. Still, I had two criticisms of season ten of American Idol. First, this year’s tryout portion lacked comedy. Where were the William Hun’s of the world, or the whimsical songs like “Pants on the Ground”? Week after week we were given a range of average to excellent singers and no comic relief. And last, the new judges had a very weak start -they were too nice! I can’t count how many average vocalists they allowed to move on to Hollywood week. A word of advice to Steve and Jennifer, next year don’t let tears or a sob story influence your vote; it’s ‘American Idol’ not the Make a Wish Foundation. Overall, this season was amazing thanks to great musical mentors and even better natural talent. Good luck and congratulations to Scotty Mcreery, season ten’s American Idol!
